ARTAVIAS CHOVAN COLE, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
Do Not Publish
Submitted on October 12, 2021
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. 21-37861
Before Golemon, C.J., Kreger and Horton, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
On August 3, 2021, the trial court sentenced Artavias Chovan Cole, appellant, on a conviction for robbery. Cole filed a notice of appeal on September 3, 2021. The trial court entered a certification of the defendant's right to appeal in which the court certified that this is a plea-bargain case and the defendant has no right of appeal and that he waived the right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). The district clerk has provided the trial court's certification to the Court of Appeals.
On September 7, 2021, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless the appellant established grounds for continuing the appeal. Cole filed a response, but his response failed to establish that the trial court's certification is incorrect. Because the record does not contain a certification that shows Cole has the right of appeal, we must dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
